Human-Centered Design Consultant
The Minnesota Community Health Worker Alliance (MNCHWA) is implementing a Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) initiative to design a sustainable Earn and Train CHW workforce model tailored to the needs of rural healthcare employers, CHWs, learners, and communities.
The initiative will use human-centered design, stakeholder engagement, listening and discovery, and co-design to better understand the needs, experiences, barriers, and opportunities across the rural CHW workforce ecosystem and translate those insights into a practical, implementation-ready model.
RHTP Program Goals
- Develop a sustainable rural CHW Earn and Train workforce model that expands career and training opportunities for rural workers.
- Understand and respond to the needs of rural employers, CHWs, learners, and communities through stakeholder engagement and human-centered discovery.
- Strengthen rural employer readiness and capacity to effectively employ, train, integrate, and retain CHWs.
- Align CHW education, training, and workforce pathways with rural workforce needs, including appropriate certificate programs, on-the-job training, and supplemental supports.
- Develop an implementation-ready model that can be piloted, evaluated, refined, and ultimately scaled across rural Minnesota.
